Netherlands Chords & Lyrics - Mark Erelli

[INTRO]
[C] [Cm] [G] [C] [Cm] [G]

[VERSE]
[Am]Worn down brick and cobblestone [C]
Laid out in herringbone in the [G]square
[Am]Old man sitting on a milk crate
Playing a[C] squeezebox for spare change [G]
People pass by like he’s not [D]there

[CHORUS]
Oh, but [C]all his Old World [D]waltzes seem to[G] be
In a minor [Em]key
To a [C]haunted man [Cm]
Lost in the [G]Netherlands [C] [Cm] [G]

[VERSE]
[Am]Sidewalk bar on a Sunday night [C]
Watching girls in skirts on bikes come and [G]go
Here’s a[Am]round for the one with the jonquil hair
And a[C]nother for the things I might have dared when I was [G]younger
If I’d only [D]known

[CHORUS]
Oh, to[C]night it seems like [D]every mem[G]ory
Is in a minor [Em]key
To a [C]haunted man [Cm]
Lost in the [G]Netherlands [C] [Cm] [G]

[VERSE]
[Am]From a stained glass window pane [C]
Of an old church black with acid rain comes a [G]light
[Am]Candles flicker at the Virgin’s feet
And I [C]want so badly to believe that some[G]one
Has got my back to[D]night

[CHORUS]
Oh, but [C]all my prayers they [D]fall so hollo[G]wly
No one answers [Em]me
And I’m [C]gone again [Cm]
Lost in the [G]Netherlands [C] [Cm] [G]
